I know what he means when he says fans feel a disconnect when they meet him and don't see the character they seen on television for years. I grew up on Balki Bartchamus and cousin Larry Appleton at such a young impressionable age. I didn't realize until a decade later, on my 27th birthday how much these characters have influenced my personality. I'm a little bit neurotic from Larry but glad to be the noble, friendly, kind, and sensitive soul Balki was portrayed as. Thanks for one of the greatest shows this Mypiot has ever seen. Have some Chalki Deekees and Bibbi babkas on the way out and don't forget to pet demetree. Say hello to uncle Stabros and mamma. Bye bye babe.

He gave up Hollywood on a geographical basis, but not on an acting job basis. Like he says in the video: he never loved hollywood. he just loved the work.

To bring back the show, they could say that Balki moved with his wife and child back to Mypos shortly after his kid was born to take care of his sick mother. Then they decided to stay there to give his son a traditional Myposian upbringing. Now both he and Larry's child are in their mid-20s. Balki's son graduated from M.I.T. (Myposian Institute of Technology) and gets a computer job in the U.S. Balki decides to move back with him, showing up on Larry's doorstep. "You said I could come back any time, cousin Larry, now it's any time." Meanwhile, Larry's kid is a drop-out who is always trying different get-rich-quick schemes. He tries to take advantage of Balki's computer knowledge for a scheme but the plan goes awry and both parents make sure their kids learned the lesson that what they did was wrong. When Balki and Larry do the dance of joy, they stop just short of Larry jumping in Balki's arms, look at each other, and just shake hands. But their kids learn how to do the dance of joy as they start their friendship.

They understood timing. They understood practice makes perfect. And, their comedy was clean. Pretty much everything since them have been fart jokes, bathroom jokes, and sex jokes. And now, Trump jokes. Enough!!!!!!!
